Rwandan Genocide Remembrance
On this 25th commemorative date, Utah Rwandan Genocide Survivor Community hosts reflection with internationally known speakers.
The Utah Rwandan Survivor Community invite the community at large to the special remembrance of the Rwandan Genocide. During a brief 100 day period, beginning April 8, 1994, over one million people were executed in Rwanda. This murderous three month period is known as the '100 Days of Terror'. The Salt Lake City Rwanda Survivors Community is hosting a special 25-year Kwibuka or remembrance of this occasion.
Recognizing that any atrocity against humankind is an assault to all humanity.
Governor Herbert declared June 8, as "Utah's Day of Remembrance" in 2014. As a result, the 25-year commemoration is occurring on that date.
